Easy Fruit Salad w/ Cool Whip - 130 Calories
The amount of Calories/servings all depend on what you put into the fruit salad. This is one of those "throw together" foods thats different every time I make it. The only consistent ingredient is the cool whip. haha! For sake of example, this is what I made today and what the calories turned out to be.…

Cook! Expiration help...
This is probably going to sound so bad, but I don't cook with these enough to know....and kinda bummed that they all seem to go bad before I use even half a container! Are all these foods really not usable after the date on the box, or is it usually a sale by date etc? I know people who will keep sugar in the freezer…

I have 1 week to lose 60lbs!
Ok not seriously...but I hate when I feel like this. It always seems like there is a event, party, trip etc right around the corner to remind me that I could have been thinner and fitter had I stayed on track and not lost my way. Then I sit here and dread that I'm going to be the "fat one". Tired of needing to be thin to…

1lb of fat = 1lb of muscle
I see this all the time on here and then there is a huge debate on how they are not actually equal...I think this explains it pretty well. 1lb = 1lb in weight.....but the SPACE it takes it up on your body is different. What do you think?

Postcard Challenge 10/5 to 10/19
I searched for the challenge and it doesn't seem like there has been a new one in a while. (The last one I ran was a YEAR ago :noway: ) Here is how this works: Enter your starting weight by Friday October 5th. Then we will all work really hard to eat right and exercise. THEN... 2 weeks later, on Friday October 19th,…

I've actually been on MFP for a while now, but after a 7 month lapse in judgement I gained back a good 40lbs. Would like to check in on here with people in the same boat as me. We could all check into this thread when we need help, support, have suggestions etc. Who's in? A little about me - I'm 26, 100lbs overweight, a…

I think I bombed Phase 1
Luckily we still have some time left! But I did not get off to a good start AT ALL! In fact I haven't even looked at the scale in a few weeks because I'm scared to see how much I probably gained after eating like a cow :sad: I'm trying to put a positive spin on things lately instead of constantly tearing myself down all…

7 Things You Don't Realize About Addiction (Until you Quit)
I don't know how I stumbled on this article, but as I was reading it, I kept thinking "this reminds me of losing weight". Its a bit long, but the writer throws in a lot of humor that makes it manageable. Thought I would share and see if anyone else thinks his 7 points can relate to being overweight and then turning to a…

Pity Party over here...no carrots allowed
I just need to vent my frustration at myself. :explode: I did really good last year on MFP with my food and exercise, even completed a half marathon. It was all great! Then had some personal problems...and then another...and then another...and instead of handling them in a good way I fell back on old techniques...sleeping…

Kids Lunch, need fresh ideas?
I'm running out of ideas, and my family is getting sick of the same thing all the time. (And I think I give decent variety lol). The problem: Foods have to last a few hours not being refridgerated (just the lunch box ice pack) and no microwave to reheat foods (well my husband does, and my daughters used to but they stopped…

Do you take vitamins?
I just recently started taking some. I don't "do" pills, so unfortunately mine are full of calories and sugar because they are a Woman's GUMMY multivitamin. :embarassed: I've never been a fan of vitamins because I always felt you should get what you need from your food, but I think when I'm eating at a deficit that I'm not…

Starting again...and again...and again...
Does anyone feel like its much harder to stay on track with your logging and exercise once you've stopped for a while. I lost almost 70lbs last year, and was doing good *most* of the time. I felt better, I looked better...even completed a Half-marathon and a mud run! Then I hit this wall, got kind of depressed, and just…

Flavored Ice Coffee
In another attempt to kick my Starbucks habit (but not my caffeine habit) I started making iced coffee. This is just ONE way to make it. You can use different flavored coffee, syrups, and even sugar free chocolate syrup to make it more chocolaty. The nice thing about iced coffee is it can be fairly low calorie and kick the…
